Testimonials

“I made the best decision…for my Master’s. Although I am learning from experts in their fields about reading, writing, data, art, photography, etc., I am also learning about people, culture, life, and myself through the interactions within class with the professors and fellow students. I know I couldn’t get this anywhere else.”

- Anthony Albrecht, MALS ‘16
